"Naturally is the result of Nilsson’s works over three years, going on adventures into the wilderness and collaborating with male dancers and acrobats to create spontaneous performances documented with the camera. In scenes ranging from mysterious to emotive, the landscape and body is transformed by my addition of red, black and white color pigments. The book, carefully designed and produced by Nilsson in the tradition of an artist's book, bring together images, form and a layered narrative of chaos and order."

"One might consider the Salon Rouge as a small temporary enclave, an eddy of consideration in which the projected & photographically captured persona comes to the fore... the one between the public face and the mirror gaze, doubtful and self-conscious, but caught in an unguarded moment while outside the city is locked down in a red alert and the world raves on. A classic studio-setup without the intimidating high-tech environment, closing in on that humorous “punktum” that was the original point of departure. A suite of portraits taken at Buktapaktop in Brussels as part of a performance-installation “Zut! Mon Humour” conceived by Patrick Morarescu and Heinrich Obst in November 2015."

"The publication of Laura J. Padgettshows photographs that were taken during several travels across the Libanon. The conceptual atmospheric studies tell about the meaning of instability: with the view at a country that is characterized of civil war, destruction and development, the everyday life in temporary solutions."

"Features: Mark Cohen photographs and interview; Hans Eijkelboom's 1973 In the News Paper, in which he contrived to appear on 10 consecutive days in a newspaper photograph; Ivars Gravlejs' photographs from and interview about his book Early Works; and Ron Padgett writing about his meetings with Man Ray."

"The landscape is not something whose borders we can control, and define unambiguously the context. We should radically reject the claim, all human, to rationalize the landscape, or to describe it, to own it, to set it aside."

"A Dozen Failures is both a singular statement as a photobook and a commentary on a life spent making some of the classic photobooks of our time, among them The Pond, There and Gone, The Romance Industry, and Berlin in the Time of the Wall. Every photograph is in some way perfect (as a technical feat) and in another way a failure (as representational “residue”). So what makes a picture a “failure” – something worthy of further contemplation? It goes far deeper than merely being a mistake. Failures teach us about life and the self in ways as powerful as – and far more confoundingly than – successes."

"Greenland is suffering the effects of climate change and over the last few decades its people begin to embrace Western lifestyles and modes of consumption in parallel. Supermarkets and cell phones are slowly making their way into Inuit culture, and traditional outfits made from animal hides are now only used in the North for sled journeys. From the 67th to the 77th parallel north, from modern towns to nights in tent on the sea ice hunting seals, this book provide an artist's look on these contrasts over the country."

OUR PHILOSOPHY

There is no selecting, editing and/or curating involved. If your books meet the formal criteria, it will be listed regardless of its content and our tastes.

We only list books or zines that cannot be bought via Amazon or commercial chain book stored. Also no Blurb books or MagCloud magazines, since those can be found easily via Blurb's/MagCloud's website.

We only accept announcements about existing print books or zines (strictly no fundraisers). By "zine" we mean not regularly published magazines, but rather one-time publications (which are often xeroxed/cheaply printed and stapled, thus resembling a magazine).

At the time of the listing, the book/zine has to be available (no "sold out") so people can actually order it online. No repeat announcements or "special offers" or "30% off" sale announcements.
